hello,
First time grower here, could use a little help
I've chosen Dutch Passion seeds: Auto Night Queen.
I have a 4x4x5 tent with a Viparspectra 900w led light.
For now only the veg switch is turned on and it sits @ 90cm (36") from the seedlings (recommended user instructions distance)
For now since the setup is in the basement the light runs 24/24
Grow medium = 50% coco, 50% perlite, 15L (4Gal) pots.
Flushed the pots with ph'ed TAP water to which i added half of recommended strength CalMag.
It took 120L (30Gal) to get the same ph drained back out, than i placed the pots in the tent to warm them up.
24h later i started the seeds in Root-it sponges, which i have soaked in Root-it FirstFeed at the recommended strength @ 5.8 ph.
The seeds all popped at the same time around 75 hours later, up and untill than everything seemed fine.
In the following days some of them started to show some yellowing on the pointed leaves, nothing dramatic, just doesn't seem right.
This is a picture of the most affected one, now @ day 7&1/2 from seed touching water.
Now since i bought my ph & ppm pen in a little store, where the dude didn't know much bout it, i ended up with pens without the necessary calibration tools to start using the ppm pen right away.
Result i only have been able to test it very recently, and came to the conclusion that the tapwater comes out @ 0.9EC, what seems very high imo, as i added the recommended strength Root-it to the sponges that might have been 1.5 if not 2.0EC, what could have been overfeeding them maybe..?
I have now ordered a reverse osmosis waterfilter, but it might take up to a week before i get it delivered here.
Any tips on what might have been the cause of this and what steps to take..?
These are pics of the 2 others affected, much less than the one above tho, the other 4 are not affected at all, strange..
Thx for reading, have a nice weekend.
